Window sizes for new construction and newer homes, how do they

In most construction Basically what I am asking is

Does the #, size and total amount of opening space per square foot in regards to windows on houses accumulate to a pre determined number or is it based on every house specifically designed with window location and variation in mind.

How do they figure out how many windows and what sizes? Is there a minimum or code about how many may be placed?

    To count a room as a bedroom you need to have a window, because code requires a second means of egress for a bedroom, so interior door and window. Typically in 100sqft you would see 1 to 2 windows, if you think about a typical 10'x10' room you probably see 2 windows. Hope this helps.
